This add-on extracts attachments in 141:

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to be the same or close.

I was able to set a filter and automatically save sent and received attachments to a folder on my hard drive.

If this can do the same, I can't see how. Thanks

It doesn't work as an automatic filter, but attachments from multiple messages can be extracted manually in one step.

Thanks - Got my first computer in 1994.

I found generally, if a program update is screwy, just install prior version. Not here, back to the drawing board as I'm forced to basically start over. Having attachments automatically copied is a big deal for me. Eudora was the ideal mail client , but finally gave up the ghost.

Thanks for your help.

I cannot solve your problem.

However, the following add-on might be helpful to you in the future: Add-on Compatibility Check https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/addon-compatibility-check/

The above add-on can check whether installed add-ons are compatible with new version of Thunderbird. Therefore, you can decide whether to upgrade Thunderbird or not.

Hi,

Thanks, you are a genius and that addon solves my future problems. Since I was just starting with Thunderbird, I bit the bullet and installed 140.0.1 from scratch and all is good, including your suggestion.

Thanks again. Wally
